Eight matches produced seven decisive defeats, and one game drawn in its favour. Slack­ ness everywhere was the prevalent feature of Sussex cricket during the year, and an energetic revival is much needed. The loss of Mr. Arthur Smith’s bowling was a great blow to the eleven, and Mr. J. M. Cotterill was also badly missed. The last match of the year proved the possession of a new amateur batsman, of undoubted promise, in Mr. R . T . Ellis, and next season we hope to see Sussex again to the front. New blood is much wanted, and should be heartily encouraged.
